Concession Volunteers needed TONIGHT!!!

Please indicate boys basketball as your preferred team on any shift you work any time of year and our program gets the credit from Boosters.  It makes a big difference.

We are in desperate need of Concession volunteers for Girls Volleyball game tonight, 9/5, vs. Millbrook

We would hate to close concessions- plus your athlete's team will receive $$ for volunteer shifts fulfilled  feel free to sign up for any open shifts this fall.

Last nights football game will resume at 10 am today.  No admission will be charged.  Stadium clean-up will occur following the game.

The delay puts us at a disadvantage as we understand folks have other plans today.  Any effort folks can make to be at clean-up would help make it easier to get the job done.

We will meet under the scoreboard at the conclusion of the game.  We do take attendance so kids get acknowledged for working. Need 20 each game night.
